Residents of Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) will now enjoy easier access to breast cancer screening, following the commissioning of a $43 million state-of-the-art mammogram machine at the Suddie Public Hospital.

The machine, manufactured by Siemens, a German multinational technology conglomerate, is known for its high-resolution imaging and diagnostic accuracy, making it one of the most advanced breast cancer screening tools globally.

Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony, who officially launched the service yesterday, emphasised the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer.
